Vibrant Helsinki

During a summer trip to Helsinki, Finland, my husband and I were captivated by the city's vibrant atmosphere. The aroma of freshly baked pulla mingled with the rich scent of espresso as we explored the cycle-friendly streets. Everywhere we looked, public art surprised and delighted us, appearing even in unexpected locations like the entrances to shopping centers. Even a simple train ride became an experience, like traveling through a moving art gallery, with murals and architectural sculptures adorning the buildings we passed. As an artist and my husband an engineer, we found ourselves constantly discussing the design and construction of these pieces. For us, Helsinki's public art truly defines the city's character.
